A few weeks ago we explored one of Oman's more famous canyons, "Wadi Shab," which has pools and canals fed by the infrequent rains and some groundwater from the valley. The water gets very deep at the narrowest parts - many people go swimming and there was even a cliff diving competition here over the summer. But we definitely did not partake in any of that! We hiked in for about 30 minutes and at the point where swimsuits are required, we stopped to enjoy our picnic and the view. Next time we'll swim. We certainly enjoyed the breathtaking scenery - just about 2 hours from Muscat.
